[Arm-netbook] u-boot and extlinux.conf directives

Will the u-boot on the computer card be happy with these syslinux config directives?

My u-boot skipped some of these with messages like:
  Ignoring unknown command: ui
  Ignoring unknown command: totaltimeout

This is probably my fault - I was thrashing around in the dark. But I thought I’d check.

Thanks, Nick
